IMPROVEMENT IN PAINT IQR MARBLEIZING- WOOD.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known t-hatl, FRANoIs G. Poxons'r, in the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and improved Paint for Marhleizing Wood; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same. s

This invention consists in a composition of matter to be used for imparting to wood the appearance of marble, the elements of which are the following:

I Paint, finely ground, and of color corresponding to that of the marhlelto he imitated, one pound; linseedoil, boiled, two ounces; varnish, Dammar, one and three-fourth ounces; aqua fortis, twenty-five drops; spirits of turpentine, two gills. 7

These ingredients should be well mixed.

, The manner of applying the paint is as follows:

'A trough, large enough to receive a mantle-shelf, was'h-sta'nd, or other similar article, is nearly filled with water, on the surface of whicha sufficient quantity of paint, prepared as above described,i s sprinkled,

The Schedule fete! red to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same and line Darn mara varnish is thrown on over the paint. The piece of furniture to be marbleized is dipped m the trough and quickly withdrawn: After drying it will he found to have a smooth, hard composition oi" the best imitation marble 011' its surface.

, This composition can'be highly polished, and its resemblance tomarble thereby increased. It does not blister under the action of heat like ordinary paint, and it is able to withstand the application of water. It is, therefore, peculiarly adapted to mantleshelves and wash-stands.

Having thus described my invention, What claim as new, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, is-- The paint for marbleizing wood, composed of the ingredients herein set forth. I
